Hah! Nah. Gutfreund is just the prototype for guys like Chuck Prince, who had no idea what was happening until it was too late.
Those were the Ken Lays. I believe the line in "Smartest Guys in the Room" to Skilling from Lay was "just keep making me money." If memory serves, anyway.
The Andy Fastows have yet to be named. They're like Meriwether from Salomon during Gutfreund's era - yes boss, we're inventing strange ways to play spreads on Treasury runs. Yes boss, I have MIT math guys working on it. Would you like to go to the spa while we put all this capital at risk, boss?
